FLODRAW Update: Version 2.25 June, 1992
(This update is provided free to all FLODRAW 2.2 registered
users. All other users are urged to register.)
It's been well over a year since the release of version 2.2.
This update is the accumulation of enhancements and fixes to
problems reported by users. The update disk contains two
program files: FLODRAW.EXE (version 2.25) and PLOPCX.EXE
(version 1.2). These are the only files that have changed
with this release.
Here is the list of the enhancements and fixes provided in
version 2.25.
New option to change printer port. This option was
provided for network users. Only the following printers
can use this option: HP Deskjet/LaserJet, Epson FX/MX
and Star Gemini. All other printers use LPT1. If you
have on of these printers, you can use this option to
toggle the printer port between LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3.
Select F8 (Change Setup Options) at the entry menu, then
F (misc. printer options), and F4 (printer port.)
Fix print problem using HP LaserJet with network print
spoolers. FLODRAW will now work with most network print
spoolers
Fix print problem with HP Deskjet 500. The HP Deskjet
500 would sometimes skip lines when using the HP
LaserJet printer driver. A separate printer driver has
been added for the HP DeskJet to correct this problem
Fix text display problems when using MS-DOS 5.0 with a
different country code (a problem for some European
users.)
Fix problems with the directory display on the entry
menu. This problem was only apparent if you had several
hundred files in your directory.
Fix problem preventing landscape selection when creating
a new diagram. Some users got a help screen instead of
landscape selection.
New version of FLOPCX (FLOPCX 1.2) converts FLODRAW
files to black and white PCX files to avoid problems
importing four color files into some desktop publishing
programs. The two color files have a CGA screen
resolution of 640X200. The four color conversion is
still retained as an optional parameter.
The programs on the update disk replace the programs you are
currently using. Rename the old programs and use the DOS
COPY command to copy the new programs to your directory as
shown below.
Rename your current version of FLORAW.EXE to FLODRAW.OLD
Rename your current version of FLOPCS.EXE to FLOPCX.OLD
Put the update disk in your floppy drive.
Use the DOS Copy command to copy the programs to your
FLODRAW directory. For example, if your FLODRAW directory
is on drive C: and the directory is called \FLO, and your
floppy is in drive A:, your copy commands would look like
this:
A>COPY FLODRAW.EXE C:\FLO
A>COPY FLOPCX.EXE C:\FLO
This completes the update.
